Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM.

Acne prone and sensitive skin should be subjected to as few cosmetic products as possible.

If i was your treating doctor i would have asked you to use a gentle cleanser like cetaphil twice daily.

A gel based sunscreen would suit you better rather than a cream or lotion which would be too oily for you.

A product containing one or more of the following ingredients like kojic acid, glycolic acid, Arbutin, Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate can be used on sensitive skin.

You can also opt for chemical peeling (glycolic peeling) sessions from a dermatologist.

take care
